Subject: liveupdate: fix boot failure due to kmemleak access to unmapped pages
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 14:41:47 +0000
When booting with debug_pagealloc=on while having:
CONFIG_KEXEC_HANDOVER_ENABLE_DEFAULT=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK_DEFAULT_OFF=n
the system fails to boot due to page faults during kmemleak scanning.
This occurs because:
With debug_pagealloc enabled, __free_pages() invokes
debug_pagealloc_unmap_pages(), clearing the _PAGE_PRESENT bit for freed
pages in the direct mapping. Commit 3dc92c311498 ("kexec: add Kexec
HandOver (KHO) generation helpers") releases the KHO scratch region via
init_cma_reserved_pageblock(), unmapping its physical pages. Subsequent
kmemleak scanning accesses these unmapped pages, triggering fatal page
faults.
Call kmemleak_no_scan_phys() from kho_reserve_scratch() to exclude the
reserved region from scanning before it is released to the buddy
allocator.
